PUMPKIN

Amy Jo Voight of Aurora, Colo., writes: "This is Emma. She's a 10-week-old Springer Spaniel, and she was a riot in this costume. It took about 10 minutes to put the pumpkin costume on her because she was flopping her body to the left, and then to the right, and biting the Velcro. For about five seconds, she left the pumpkin hat on, [then] flipped on her back and rolled a half-dozen times. She grabbed the hat with her teeth and somersaulted repeatedly. Finally, the pumpkin hat came loose. The battle was won!"
